If you happen to catch a ride on the line 7 metro in Seoul, South Korea in the near future, you might be surprised to find yourself transported back to the Czech Republic.

Czech Tourism has decorated entire cabins – walls, floors, doors, and all – with a faux-cobblestone ground and views from Prague and locations from across the Czech Republic.

Photos from inside the metro were uploaded to the South Korean branch of the Czech Republic’s official tourism site, 체코관광청 – Visit Czech Republic:

The South Korean capital is also home to Castle Praha, a restaurant & pub modeled after Prague’s Astronomical Clock.
